Open Studio: Focus on the Negative
December 28, 2024 | 10:30 am–3:00 pm
Discover fresh opportunities for artistic expression every weekend in December at Open Studio. Explore how artists use light, reflection, and shadow. Collaborate or craft your own artwork to take home. Each week will introduce new ideas and creative challenges!
This week’s Open Studio takes inspiration from artist Barbara Hepworth’s use of negative space in sculpture. Sculpt your own creations from clay, and explore how light and shadow interact with negative space.
Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.
Do this at home! Create a negative space sculpture. Instructions here.
